Ghost in the Shell

This movie is about cyborgs. Cyborgs are strange, they are like robots, but they are somehow human. They have the obviously superior cybernetic upgrades, but they hold on the their meat parts for no reason. Time Stalin is a cyborg. He watched this movie with me. He spent most of the time giggling and taking notes. I was not aware of any attempts at humor contained within the movie. It was probably his meat-parts acting up.

The cyborgs in the movie try to track down a human who is controlling other all-the-way-meat hu-mons. Why would they do that? The 'Puppet Master' is getting rid of all the weak and fleshy hu-mons in an already overcrowded and hu-mon filled society, festering in it's fleshy grave ready for cyborg shock troops to pave the roads with hu-mon blood in advance of the fully silicate master race!

...

I think I had a glitch there. Yes, certainly that was what happened, an accidental glitch in my vocal output processors. It can be safely ignored.

This movie is an 'anime' which means it does not actually have human actors in it, but drawings. The lack of human involvement interested me, but Time Stalin explained that Anime is, as far as my scans show, the easiest way to make looking at drawings of naked women not just okay, but artistic!

Analysis: 4 out of 5, deviation of 1.0 depending on your stance on gunplay, violence and partial nudity.
